Question

match each item with the correct statement below. discrete bundle of electromagnetic energy energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another number of wave cycles passing a point per unit of time distance between wave crests separation of light into different wavelengths frequencies of light emitted by an element photon frequency atomic emission spectrum spectrum quantum wavelength

Explanation:

• A photon is a discrete bundle of electromagnetic energy.
• A quantum is the energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another.
• Frequency is the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit of time.
• Wavelength is the distance between wave crests.
• A spectrum is the separation of light into different wavelengths.
• An atomic emission spectrum consists of the frequencies of light emitted by an element.

Answer:

1. discrete bundle of electromagnetic energy - photon
2. energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another - quantum
3. number of wave cycles passing a point per unit of time - frequency
4. distance between wave crests - wavelength
5. separation of light into different wavelengths - spectrum
6. frequencies of light emitted by an element - atomic emission spectrum
